I am impressed with the Honduran Government in charge now.
Me, too. If the Venezuelans had only been this obdurate.
I’d have been more impressed if they had shot the plane down and ended this farce.
The pot the Venezuelans were in started with cold water.
Update - better
RPT-OUSTED PRESIDENT MANUEL ZELAYA SAYS LANDING IN MANAGUA AFTER
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N05226383.htm
To tell you the truth, neither am I.
As did ours.
Either Obama will give Zelaya a Czar position or he’ll get a distinguished chair at Harvard.
The new government did an admirable job today handling an extremely stressful situation with a minimum of violence.
It will happen again, tomorrow or the next day. This isn't over, but there is every reason for Hondurans to be proud of their government.
Could you have heard the wailing on that one out of ZERO — shooting down the plane of one of his buddies!
Today, the Honduran Government did not take the bait, and lives on to fight another day.
Wow, I just read the wiki on the President of the UN General Assembly. They should’ve shot the plane down.

How ever will he 'splain that one to his wife.
Wonder if we could get up an Abraham Lincoln Brigade and go down there and help the Hondurans throw back the Nicaraguan Commie Army or something.
I think that the plan is for a civil war to start in Honduras. I think if that were to happen, Honduras would be invaded by Hugo's goons from Venezuela with their new Russian jets, etc.
I could see a scenario where about the time they gain control of the Honduran government, a third party, probably Ortega/Nicaragua would step in as a "peacekeeper", with our help, of course, to "stabilize" the situation.
Thus, hypothetically, the dominoes would fall and socialism would advance in Central America. Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and now Honduras.
And a snazzy red jacket for all of them.
At least I want a pro-Honduras Democracy T shirt from that conservative outfit that makes conservative t shirts. This little country has the cajones to take on Obama, all of Socialist Central and South America, and CNN to boot!
They deserve our solid support. Somehow.
BINGO!!!! We have a WINNER!!!!
What if he comes back at NIGHT or some other time when the military isn’t expecting him?????? This isn’t over.....once a DICTATOR ALWAYS A DICTATOR!
The communist plan is always to create tripartite coalitions with non-communist enemies they want to defeat. They fight to a standstill or a ceasefire or an armistace. Then they construct “national dialogue” between three parties. a) Communists. b) Non Communists. c) Neutrals. The neutrals themselves are often pro-communist or euro-socialist so it is 2 vs 1. Or, they have no power at all and are eliminated by the Communists, who then go on to eliminate the non-Communists, who by then have laid down their weapons through internationally supervised ceasefire through the UN. There will be some kind of OAS conspiratorial effort to de-ball the new Conservative anti-communist government in Honduras, you can bet your bottom dollar on it. Obama will sit supremely over this entire horrendous sellout.
Maybe they need a guerilla action HERE against the CNN goons.
Yes, I’d really like to support them somehow in a legal manner.
Correct and well said. The “gunslingers” on this board are getting on my nerves.
Go fire up a video game.
They do deserve our solid support. Someone must know how we can support this Country.
One thing this has done is shine the light of day on the Marxist ZERO as he immediately joined with the other Marxist in the region to denounce a legitimate Governor because they ousted one of their friends when he didn’t follow their Constitution.
The destruction that ZERO has done in so little time is staggering.
One small thing we ALL can do: If you wear clothes, eat bananas, or drink coffee - look at the labels before you buy and choose accordingly!
I think you are right. It shows how brave the freedom loving people of Honduras are in all of this.
Cannot believe there is not more outcry against ZERO on all of this. He joined with the Marxist dictators and our state run media fell silent. Where is Fox News or have they caved as well?
I wouldn’t want to land there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_z5HtME9n8
I just looked up the Fox site. They are history.
They had a real coup and had him—and they failed to kill him or exile him for life.
I found a site honduras.net. It has some very attractive prices on coffee. I will do some checking on it before I place any order though.
Zelaya and Chavez! LOL!
Incredibly proud of Honduras, the Little Country that Could.....and Did.
Live from the Staples Center in LA...
I figured they were more concerned about Jackson then Honduras. Thanks for the info.
That’s a good one and a keeper!
I am more proud of their Government standing up to Marxism then I am ours which ZERO is leading into Marxism.
They switched the link on me just now. The cartoon I put up is not the one now showing in my post.
It is not Chavez with the Robot or do I have it in cache?
I applaud your sincerity & concern to help support the Honduran country & concern to defend their constitution & thwart a communist totalitarian thug takeover of their country by Zelaya (with the support of the usual Latin American communist thug dictators - Castro, Chavez, Ortega & of course our own usurper commie pig thug - 0boooooooomba).
I think it is so illuminating that conservatives are concerned with following the law, such as the Logan Act, while demoRAT socialists ranging from Ted (the swimmer) Kennedy trying to undermine Reagan with the Soviets over the Star War defense, Jay Rockefeller traveling to Iraq to warn Saddam Hussein of GW Bush's plan to invade Iraq, Nancy Pelosi portraying herself as a U.S. govt envoy to Syria during GW Bush's tenure, and of course Jimmah Cartah, constantly meddling & mostly trying to embarrass the U.S. with his appeasing & capitulating. It's amazing how not a single DemoRAT ever feels the slightest hesitation in undermining U.S. government policies over such a trivial matter as the Logan Act, especially when they are looking to undermine a Republican administration. Just an interesting set of contrasts!!!!
It is probably one of the biggest distinctions that sets Republicans apart from the current crop of leftist Democrats and that is support for the Constitution and our Rule of Law which the DemocRATs trash constantly.
What this Nation has gone through since the inauguration still has my head spinning. Losing all those seats and the amount of voter fraud in this Country in the last election should make every American stand up and say enough is enough but the left doesn’t mind winning with voter fraud and they have no desire to clean it up. Just look at Minnesota as a perfect example of finding ballots which is a RAT trademark.
The next time the GOP is in power, gloves better be off and voter fraud not only looked at but send people to prison instead of looking the other way and saying it is not so bad. That is Bravo Sierra. 2000 should have been a wake-up call but it wasn’t, they did more in 2004 and in 2008 it was rampant. When you have people voting in three states then you have a problem.
Absolutely true. Mr frikkin libtard Phd boss told me his 3 sons, all attending U of W-Madison voted in the Wisconsin state & federal elections cause they were attending school there and the demoRAT party had voting booths & instructions all over at any public & private liberal university to get kids to register & vote the same day. I asked my boss if his kids also filled out absentee ballots for our district in Minnesota, and he just laughed & turned away. B@stard!!! I am convinced all three of his kids voted in both WI and MN.
Is this really was a military driven coup, why is the ex-President still alive and free ?
I think O is upset because this makes it clear how the marxists operate, and puts his own attitude and intentions in the spotlight. Hubris is a marvelous thing, dontchaknow.
How would Venezuala invade Honduras? (They don’t share a border.)
Venezuala doesn’t have the air and sea transport capacity to move/supply his military should he declare war.
